A suspect in connection with a potential arson incident at a Hollywood Walmart appeared before a judge when he displayed erratic behavior. A judge told 37-year-old Doniel Cordones that he will remain behind bars until he can receive a mental health screening. Cordones is accused of starting a fire inside a Walmart, located on Hollywood Boulevard and North State Road 7 on Saturday.

Following the incident, the store was closed, and it remained shuttered on Sunday. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Coach Paul Maurice is entering Year 2 with the Florida Panthers, looking for even more fun

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:34 GMT

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — Paul Maurice’s two training camps as coach of the Florida Panthers have been brutal. End-of-practice laps that leave most players doubled over in agony. Sessions on the stationary bike that tend to make people wobble. Days are long, demands are many, smiles are few and any praise is earned.Everything has a purpose. And as the Panthers learned last year, there also can be a payoff.The Panthers are coming off a season where they won the Eastern Conference, went to the Stanley Cup Final and shed any notion that the franchise can’t contend for hockey’s biggest prize. The journey to all that started in camp last fall, and Maurice almost took glee in making this year’s camp even tougher.“The reinvestment,” Maurice said, “has to be made.”The Panthers are entering this season with one goal, and everyone knows what it is. Florida’s season starts Thursday night at Minnesota, when the Panthers’ 56-year-old head coach – quietly, one of the most accomplished in NHL his...

US and Israeli officials remain uncertain of Iranian involvement in Hamas attack

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:34 GMT

U.S. and Israeli officials say they remain unsure whether Iran was definitively involved in Hamas’ surprise weekend attack on Israel, which has spiraled into one of the region’s worst spells of violence in decades.“We have no evidence or proof” that Iran was behind it, but Israel also didn’t have intelligence to see the attack coming, Maj. Nir Dinar, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, told POLITICO on Monday. “We are 100 percent sure that the Iranians were not surprised.”“Just because you don’t have that evidence doesn’t necessarily mean Iran isn’t behind it,” he added.Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, has long received extensive backing and aid from Iran and allied governments in the region — a relationship that quickly led some to point fingers at Tehran in the eruption of warfare on Saturday. Compounding the questions in Washington and beyond about potential Iranian involvement was a Wall Street Journal report from Sunday evening,...

Quick Fix: Curried Coconut Beef is delicious and comforting meal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:34 GMT

Linda Gassenheimer | Tribune News Service (TNS)Fragrant spices add great flavor to this easy beef curry dinner. The combination of tender beef, diced tomatoes and coconut milk creates a delicious and comforting meal. It’s served over basmati rice. This is a type of long-grain aromatic white rice. Happily, it’s available in a microwave version, which means you can make the side dish in minutes and there’s no pot to wash.A hint about the curry powder for this dish. The curry powder sold in supermarkets is a blend of about 15 herbs, spices and seeds. This type of powder loses its flavor quickly. If you have curry powder that is more than 6 months old, buy a new one. It will add more flavor to the dish.Helpful Hints:— You can use 4 crushed garlic cloves instead of 2 teaspoons minced garlic.— You can use chopped sweet onion instead of frozen chopped onion.— A quick way to defrost the peas and onion is to place them in a sieve and run hot tap water over them.— Brown rice can be used inste...
